Question

Which statements best describe the work of Marie and Pierre Curie? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

They came up with the term “radioactivity.”

They conducted experiments with uranium-containing minerals and pure uranium.

They discovered two new radioactive elements.

Explanation:

As we know that the radioactivity is discovered by Marie and Curie and as per the experimental verification of the theory given by them we can say that rate of decay of a radioactive sample is directly proportional to the number of the radioactive same present at that time.

So it is given as

$\frac{dN}{dt} = -\lambda N$

so here they also discovered two new radioactive substance apart from all the experiments related to the Uranium

Answer 2

B. They came up with the term “radioactivity.”

C. They conducted experiments with uranium-containing minerals and pure uranium.

E. They discovered two new radioactive elements
